Oglethorpe's dream: A Colony of Georgia quest

Reader mode
Need to be sure to preserve that house. But I say make a new capital city.

Also my mind wants to say turn the house into either a hospital, orphanage, or some other government building like a post office.

An action should also probably be used to improve the military somehow. As well as maybe use an action for something involving the natives?
 
-[] [Capital Action] The Capital is the most important place due to it being the center of all governmental and commerce functions, thus it is better to plan it from a clean slate. Build a new city with walls and sections to house the government while making it accessible to the populace.
-[] The Colonial affairs all require funding, which comes from the trade, the farm, and the craft. So we must enlarge the body that governs economic development and trade. This body shall inherit the properties that used to house the government, which should ease transition pains.
-[] There is a rebellion, even though we don't call it that, which demands military goods. Direct efforts to setup gunpowder and other military good production.
-[] The militia is in a slightly embarrassing state, but they should be capable of defending their home. Organize them into 3 rotating parts, training, city patrol, and rest. Hopefully time will improve the quality of the militia.

Thoughts?

That's about what I was thinking for what we need to do, so I am fine with the actions in this state.

Let's focus solely on gunpowder because military goods does not have the same meaning in 1776 as it does in 2019.

Maybe simplify the meaning of this section.

Feels too ambitious for 6 months during a war. Maybe, rephrase as " Scout out location for a new city. Keep original house for future Government functions, whatever those might be."

We might need to dedicate an action getting a handle with this because it sounds like there are problems at the border. Also, when we build the capital we need to figure out/ draw out borders with the Creek and Cherokee.

Also could you specify where you want the new capital to be it can be as far north as Jefferson County and as far west as Echols County.
 
Bureaucracy demands more bureaucracy, so a city of bureaucrat is the most sane choice. :V :V :V

Suggestions taken and changes made.

[x] Plan Gov City
-[x] [Capital Action] The Capital is the most important place due to it being the center of all governmental and commerce functions, thus it is better to plan it from a clean slate. Establish the foundation of a new city with walls and sections to house the government. (Where Waycross, georgia is on present day)
-[x] Formalize the economic development and commerce office into a full fledged government organization. They shall see to the economic prosperity of Georgia.
-[x] There is a rebellion, even though we don't call it that, which demands supplies. Direct efforts to setup gunpowder production.
-[x] The militia is in a slightly embarrassing state, but they should be capable of defending their home. Organize them into 3 rotating parts, training, city patrol, and rest. Hopefully time will improve the quality of the militia.
 
Hold up, waycross looks kinda close to a border. @Atlanta-Georgia Can you advise if that location is a possible native incident spot? If so one of you US net entity have to suggest a good spot since I got like negative us geography score.

I was gonna add something use any extra money we have to build a mor proffensional fighting force, but all our money will be going to the new captain soon, so... oh well.

Technically you shouldn't have to worry about raids because Florida is a fellow British Colony and the Cherokee and Creek promised to stop attacking you if you stop attacks on their citizens that live inside the proclamation line.
 
Plan Centre of the Colony wins.

    • New Capitol:
    Meeting all the Legislature's requirements and having a beautiful view the committee assigned to build the new capitol choose the location where the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers meet. When it is announced that a location for the new capitol has been chosen one hundred adults and thirty children moved to the location. In less thrilling news it appears one of the people in the group managed to convince the others that they should pool their resources together to construct a renaissance style village. And so it was done and now fifty renaissance style houses sit at the capitol location. How will the Congress react to the fact that our future capitol is now in the renaissance style?

    Sons of Liberty strike again half of Savannah burned down:
    Everyone's favorite rebel/terrorist group the Sons of Liberty have struck again. After the Arsenal was rebuilt and stocked to the brim with powder in barrels the Sons of Liberty overpowered the militia and broke into the building again. With the gunpowder already compressed in barrels all the Sons of Liberty had to do was pour oil on the barrels and set them aflame. Ten seconds later the Arsenal explodes in fire taking out the four blocks surrounding the building. The fire rapidly spreads and half of Savannah burns down and the Davenport House is destroyed. (The Legislature has requisitioned the public library as it's meeting place.)

    Militia armed and ready:
    The new regimen that the Militia is on has worked great the militia is now up to the standard of our neighbors.
    ___________________________________________________________
    I'm including the capitol response here because it is not vital but the Sons of Liberty are going into next turns mandatory actions.

    Actually, an easy solution when the city gets big enough( by expanding eastward as we must mind the borders) we cordon the neighborhood as a residential, or "Old Georgia" sector. Like how we have downtown or business distrint in modern cities or really old cities.
     
    I would just have sections of the city walled, to defend again rebels and contain any fire. District burning down is better than city burning down.

    Shame about the gun powder tho.
     
    [x] Renaissance: The Congress applauds the the people's support of the new capital. The style and architect similar to old country is an excellent show of our common heritage.
